Here's a collection of vero (stripboard) and tagboard guitar and bass effect layouts that we have put together covering many classic and popular effects in growing numbers. Many of these have been posted on freestompboxes.org, so check that site out for great discussions on building your own effect pedals.

Orion Fuzz

Masaru Kubota's take on Fuzz Face. Pretty nice. Info: This is the Orion Fuzz. When I first published this webpage, I suggested the option of replacing the phase network of The Allies Fuzz with an RC network. Pretty simple, just connect the capacitor going to the emitter junction of the second stage to ground instead. It's funny to watch all the people who were wrong about me. They're the idiots who try to make no answer a "yes", somewhat like my neighbors, who still think that I'm a foreigner, when they knew that I was born in California in 1971. They're the kind of people who think that Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible was white. You gotta love 'em.

OK, I'm getting some crazy oscillation noise and I think about 5 of the components are out of place. BAHAHAHA, just kidding it's totally fine, tag it! Sorry dude, I couldn't resist after the problems I caused yesterday. I'd swap lugs 1 and 3 of the volume pot though as it's working back to front at the moment. Thanks for another of Kubota's circuits, quick and simple but good sounding.

It works (sort of)! I used a 1k pot for the fuzz in lieu of 500 ohm, but if I turn the knob past 12 o'clock, the sound cuts in and out (sorry, can't figure out the proper terminology). Also, I used a 1n4148 per the original schematic, so I don't know how much difference that makes.Thanks again. love this blog!

Seems like the 1K is just too much for the circuit. If you have 1K resistors, solder one of those to the pot. One lead to lug 1 and the other to lug 3. That'll make the taper "wrong", but the sweep should work ok.+m

The Marshall 3005 Lead 12 was a mini-stack with a 12 watt solid state head made in England between 1988 and 1991. People claim it's a gr...
